- "Ending Father Absence" “Time-Shift
Shared Parenting” (TSSP - by Dave Usher
- Judges, lawyers, psychologists, feminists,
and men’s rights activists have been at loggerheads
for as long as we can remember over what to
do about children of divorce. Liberals want
to pander to it and fund more divorce. Most
conservatives say all the right words, but
usually end up doing what the liberals want
for lack of any real “marriage movement” leadership.
“Custody” is just another description for
the tremendous problem of father-absence.
The problem exists because we have been
asking the wrong question all along: How
do we split the children in half?

- "Two Years into Iraq War, Little Has Been Done to Protect the Rights of Military Fathers" -
His Side with Glenn Sacks - Laws granting deployed soldiers special protections against civil legal actions date back to the Civil War. However, few of these protections extend to family courts and family law. As a result, military men's service to their country often creates the conditions under which they can become victims of terrible injustices. Two years into the Gulf War and three and half years into the war on terror, both federal and state governments have failed to address the family law issues which military men and fathers face.
When Gary, a US Navy SEAL, deployed to Afghanistan in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, he never dreamed that his service to his country would cost him his little son. Gary's son was not taken from him by a terrorist or a kidnapper. This 18-year Navy veteran with an unblemished military and civilian record was effectively stripped of his right to be a father by a California court. ...

- "Allred vs. Tong--Is Parental Alienation
Syndrome a Fathers' Rights Hoax?" -
His Side with Glenn Sacks - The high-profile
Bridget Marks custody case in New York has
put the gut-wrenching issue of sexual abuse
allegations in custody battles in the headlines,
and Marks has become a cause celebre for many
feminists. In that case the court determined
that Marks had coached her four year-old twin
girls to claim that they had been sexually
molested by their father, and judge Arlene
Goldberg switched custody from the mother
to the father. False allegations of sexual
abuse are an important part of a pathology
dubbed "Parental Alienation Syndrome,"
wherein one parent tries to turn his or her
children against the other parent...
Feminists assert that Parental Alienation
Syndrome is a father's rights hoax--"junk
science"--which unscrupulous fathers
use to wrest custody from decent, loving mothers.
The father's rights movement sees PAS is a
damaging epidemic--one which family courts
usually turn a blind eye to.

bit of advice: Get a "quality lawyer."
This is THE most important step. Your lawyer should
fight for your rights, fight for your visitation
rights during this process, and inform you honestly
what to expect. This site is not meant to be a
substitute for a quality lawyer, nor is it meant
to give you any sort of legal advice. Where to
go for research, what questions to ask, what not
to do ... YES!
ECOND
bit of advice: Take careful notes. The more accurate
your dates and events are, the more difficult
it will be for the other attorney to trick you
on the stand. Also be aware that these notes might
be seen in court as evidence, so be careful what
you write down.

nothing to do except remember the truth ... The

"Presumption of innocence. A hallowed principle of criminal law to the effect that the government has the burden of proving every element of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt and that the defendant has no burden to prove his innocence. It arises at the first stage of the criminal process but it is not a true presumption because the defendant is not required to come forward with proof of his innocence once evidence of guilt is introduced to avoid a directed verdict of guilty.
Presumption of innocence succinctly conveys the principle that no person may be convicted of a crime unless the government carries the burden of proving his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt but it does not mean that no significance at all may be attached to the indictment. U.S. v. Friday, D.C.Mich., 404 F.Supp. 1343, 1346. " from George W. Maschke.
